Rm{William Robotham - Chief Engineer}/IMW{Ivan M. Waller - Head of Chateauroux}/6/JAB.27.7.37. 26.G.VI.- WRAITH. Dynamo. A nasty noise developed in the dynamo. This was dismantled and it was found that the roller bearing at the commutator end was quite dry and full of brass dust from the cage. It was cleaned up, packed with grease and replaced. It now knocks when idling due to slack which has developed. A new roller bearing is required; will you please send this out. ------------------ Rm{William Robotham - Chief Engineer}/IMW.{Ivan M.
